The sky was a shy, pale sky blue, but I couldn’t see it that well. Gray clouds covered the sky. Only the brightest parts of the sky shone through the omnipresent overcast.

You had to stretch your neck out and up just to see the

Is there any progress on organizing a vote about secession? At this point, some progress. The AIP leadership realizes more education of Alaska's population regarding this slice of Alaskan History is necessary and have committed to that effort. When the vote occurs, an informed public is necessary. 3. I doubt very many US citizens know the particulars regarding what happened when Alaska was made a state. Would

By its very nature, Alaska conjures up images of adventure and rugged independence. After all, this is America's last frontier -- the "great land" as the native Aleuts called it. So, in planning our family's escape into the wild, we knew we didn't want to see Alaska with hordes of other visitors. We wanted a unique vacation experience that gave us the freedom to design our own trip and see Alaska in a more unique, personalized way. We wanted to get out and immerse ourselves in the wonders of Alaska, not simply just tour it or see it while trapped on the other side of the glass.For families who want to see a lot of Alaska in a relatively short period of time, designing the perfect trip can be tough. After all, Alaska is approximately 586,000 square miles in size and includes 19 awe-inspirin

ARRIVING IN PORT When the ship arrives in port, it will either dock at the pier or anchor slightly offshore. You may think that when the ship docks right at the pier you can walk must be signed, and local authorities must give their clearance, a process that can take as long as 2 hours. Don't bother going down to the gangplank until you hear an announcement saying the ship has been cleared. If your ship anchors rather than docks (which ships usually will do in Alaska), you will go ashore in a small boat called a launch or tender, which ties up next to your ship and shuttles passengers back and forth all day. Getting on the tender may require a helping hand from crew members, and the waves may keep the tender swaying, sometimes requiring passengers to literally jump to get aboard. Whether t

 I recently read The Strangest Town in Alaska, which tells the true story about this frontier town that was built in a remote and beautiful area around Prince William Sound. For those who like the unusual and travel, it's a very enjoyable read. Our trip several years ago to Alaska took us to the town and former military base of Whittier. Situated in Prince William Sound among mountains, the only access for 50 years was by railroad. Automobiles now share the one-way access through the 2.5 mile tunnel through the mountain to get to Whittier. Built during WWII, the town has two of the largest buildings in Alaska, which is intended to house military and civilians for emergencies. Most of the 300 residents

Our house isn't our dream home but we love the location and our big backyard (hard to find nowadays in the city). I love my garden out back and the south light it gets. And then every time I start to think of moving to a bigger house I remember what it took to get our piano into the family room and that cures me. Moving is not going to happen. We're staying put, just bury our bones in the back.Of course after remodeling our kitchen then our fireplace last year we've become so keen on the remodeling process that we've been desperately looking for other ways to pour money into our house--apparently we've taken it upon ourselves to make sure the home improvement industry is alive and well. So we've decided to remodel the family room downstairs then take the two small kid bedrooms over the

Nowadays Cruises to Alaska are among the most popular cruise vacations available. Even though Alaska is not one of the tropical destinations with a lot of sunshine and stunning white sandy beaches, this vacation destination offers its own enjoyment and beauty. You are able to explore native villages, enjoy in a wide range of wildlife and savor to marvel at impressive glaciers. And what a comfort in your cabin and board you will have. It doesn't matter which cruise ship company you will choose for your cruise to Alaska after all, you can be certain that you will enjoy the first class conveniences of the cruise ship, the five-star service and the excellent dining experience during your cruise vacation.
